Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

List Controller

A powerful Backbone.js class that renders a collection of models as a list with infinite scrolling, sorting, filtering, and search field.

screen shot

In any application dealing with a significant amount of data, displaying a list of data will be necessary. This could be for reporting, work progress, or data review. Whatever the use case, List Controller lessens the burden of generating these list.

List Controller improves DOM responsiveness by lazy loading the rows with infinite scrolling. The library also provides common list actions: sorting, filtering, and bulk actions. Filters are stored in local storage so that the application remembers the last selected filter set. In addition, multiple filters can be saved as a "preset" for quickly using later.

This library has been 3+ years in the making here at Blackstone Audio. It is used everyday in dozens of areas inside our ERP application and is constantly being improved.

List Controller relies heavliy on Dropdown.js for the list actions (sort, filter, and bulk actions).

Demo & Documentation

Check out the demo and documentation to see the List Controller in action.

Basic Use

To use List Controller, you at least need these three things:

1) Collection

var Coll = SortableCollection.extend({})

2) List View (view for each row)

var ListView = Backbone.View.extend({
	tagName: 'li',
	className: 'row',

	render: function(){
		this.$el.html(this.model.get('label'))
		return this;
	}
})

3) List Controller

var Controller = ListController.extend({

	el: '#demo',
	listView: ListView,

	// tell infinite scroll to load more when reaching the end of this list
	scrollContext: '#demo .list',

	initialize: function(){
		
		var fakeData = [], i=0;
		while(i++<60){ fakeData.push({id: i, label: 'Row '+i})}
		
		this.collection = new Coll(fakeData);
	}	
})

var listController = new Controller();

// later... render the controller
listController.render();
